Hi I'm Nicole Stewart, I'm a 15 year old soon to be junior and I love to swim. I've been swimming since I was a little girl and when I found out that my local YMCA had a year around swimming team called PYP, I had to join. When I joined I didn't know what free-styling was or backstroke or anything really. But, my at the time coach Bob, taught me well. And soon I became one of the fastest swimmers on the team. When I got into high school I was determined to be the best, of course that wouldn't be true because the seniors were the training forever, they kind of took me under wing you could say. 10th grade year was a little more complicated, I got in with the wrong crowd and my grades ended up slipping and I wasn't allowed back on the swim team till my GPA went up. I was so upset with myself and I learned my lesson then and there. I know that my grades aren't the best but I can promise that I am one determined, fast swimmer. I will never let you down. Thank you.
